New here: how do you structure a first agri import?

admin

First post. We are a small distributor in the Gulf looking at Chinese garlic and ginger.

What is a sane sequence for a first import — sample, then one container, then contract?

Sample with a lot code, then one container on FOB terms with third-party inspection, then a framework contract with a price formula. Do not sign a volume contract before you have seen one arrival.
